Technical Meeting On Degradation Of Primary System Components Of Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants: Current Issues And Future Challenges

The objectives of the Technical Meeting are to provide participants with information on the degradation of ferritic and stainless steels in reactor pressure vessels (RPVs), heads, core internals; piping steels, steam generators, and degradation of other components. Furthermore, the workshop will cover materials degradation issues for boiling water cooled reactors and other technological issues affecting the current fleet of light and heavy water cooled reactors. Based on the experts' presentations and discussions, priorities and gaps will be identified in research and technological areas.
